According to the Constitution of India, the guidelines provided to the Government of India for framing laws and policies are outlined in the Directive Principles of State Policy. These principles aim to guide the government in establishing a just society and ensuring the welfare of its citizens.

Fundamental Rights, as mentioned in option 1, are a set of rights guaranteed to every citizen of India and are enforceable by the courts. While they act as a check on the government`s power, they do not directly provide guidelines for framing laws and policies.

Fundamental Duties, as mentioned in option 2, are a set of moral obligations expected from every citizen of India. They serve as a reminder of the responsibilities one should fulfill towards the nation. However, they do not have a direct role in guiding the government in lawmaking and policy formulation.

Option 4, which suggests both Fundamental Rights and Fundamental Duties as guidelines for the government, is inaccurate as neither of these directly fulfills that role.

Hence, the correct answer is option 3 - Directive Principles of State Policy.
